Yealink WH68 Hybrid - ANC + Mic Noise Cancellation for Teams, Zoom, etc.

Yealink WH68 Hybrid — Review Summary

Main Features

• Combines DECT and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. The reviewer says DECT offers a range of up to 300 feet, improved security, and support for more nearby headsets, while Bluetooth connects to smartphones.
• Active noise cancellation (ANC) in the earcups is intended to reduce distractions such as nearby colleagues and air-conditioning noise.
• A noise-cancelling microphone is designed for calls in noisy environments. The boom arm flips up to mute and down to unmute.
• Sidetone lets users hear their own voice while speaking.
• Available in two versions:
  • Microsoft Teams version: Teams controls work out of the box, including answering calls, launching Teams, and raising a hand during a meeting.
  • UC version: Supports other calling platforms, such as Zoom, RingCentral, and Dialpad. Some integrations may require Yealink USB Connect.
• Eight headset controls cover power and pairing, volume, play/pause, Teams, call control, mute, and ANC.
• The free Yealink USB Connect software can update firmware and adjust settings such as EQ and sidetone volume.
• Battery life is described as likely to last multiple days. The headset charges via USB-C; a charging stand is available as an option.
• In the box: headset, USB-C charging cable, USB dongle, USB-A-to-USB-C adapter, and hard travel case.

Design and User Experience

The WH68 is a stereo, over-head headset with a satin-black finish, soft leatherette cushions, an adjustable headband, and rotatable speakers. Red busy lights on both earcups signal to nearby people that the user is on a call.

Computer setup is described as simple: connect the USB adapter and turn on the headset. To pair a phone, use the headset’s Bluetooth pairing control and the phone’s Bluetooth settings.

Performance and Comparisons

The reviewer describes the speaker performance as solid: music sounds good, the volume gets loud, and voices on calls and in meetings are clear.

The video demonstrates microphone audio in quiet conditions and with typing, a blender, and a blow dryer, comparing the headset with AirPods. The subtitles do not state a clear test result or declare a winner, so they do not support a specific claim about which performed better in each test.

For users seeking additional background-noise cancellation, the reviewer suggests Neep, a separate computer app that works with any headset.

Pros

• Combines DECT and Bluetooth, with a stated wireless range of up to 300 feet.
• Headset ANC and microphone noise cancellation target noisy work settings.
• Convenient call controls, boom-arm mute, sidetone, and busy lights.
• Simple computer setup and dedicated Teams controls on the Teams version.
• Expected multiple-day battery life.

Cons and Caveats

• Some UC-version integrations may require the free Yealink USB Connect software.
• The charging stand is optional rather than included.
• The subtitles provide no price, formal rating, or explicit winner in the microphone tests.

Verdict

The reviewer recommends the WH68 Hybrid as a solid-value option for people working from home, in an office, or while travelling—especially where noise reduction and wireless range matter. No numerical score is provided.

Speaker Contributions

Dave, the reviewer, provides the product overview, setup and compatibility details, performance comments, and overall recommendation. The video includes audio comparisons with AirPods, but the subtitles do not capture a definitive verdict from those tests.
